Here is a bit of fun on the subject.
It looks like a fun subject for a change from the normal builds! [:)]
I was hoping someone would do a wip on this kit[^]. Really looking forward to seeing this one.
Does the bulldog in the box art come with the kit?
Haven’t seen it before. I’m more familiar with Ford-T armored car and Russian BA-3, BA-6.
A nice one to add to your collection.
I’ll be doing a review build of this kit soon - for one of FSM’s UK competitors, unfortunately, so it wouldn’t be fair to post too much about it here. However, at first sight, it looks impressive. and anyone also building it can always pm me with any queries.
Many of these vehicles had interesting histories. One was used by Lawrence of Arabia in his campoaign against the Turks, and thirteen were given by the Brits to the Irish Free State, to be used in the Irish Civil War against the IRA. One is preserved, to this day, by the Irish army, at the Curragh camp:

Anyone know of a source of decent 1/35 Vickers guns? The detail on the kit item could do with being sharpened up some.
Cheers,
Chris.
Resicast?
Yes indeed. Thanks for that, Jon. They also do headlight/ searchlight lenses, an area in which the kit is lacking - they give you a sheeet of clear acetate, and leave you to cut your own.
Cheers,
Chris.
